Gotham Fire
Chapter 1: Rage from Another World
Once again, Batman's notorious arch counterpart from another universe known as Owlman was up to no good, after recently breaking free from the Arkham Asylum with the aid of Mr. Freeze, the two villains were in the middle of trying to create a dimensional portal back to Owlman's world so that he can liberate it from the Red Hood.
"How long will this take?" asked Owlman to Mr. Freeze.
"About a few more hours, and it should be up and running smoothly" replied Mr. Freeze as he was busy at a computer console.
Yet before the two could start up the dimensional portal, a Baterang came right out of nowhere nearly missing the computer console itself.
"The only world you'll be traveling back to is prison" said Batman as he stood firm with the Martian Manhunter at his side.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't your goodie version of yourself" said Mr. Freeze as he readied his freeze gun, "this will have to wait."
As Mr. Freeze got his gear ready, Owlman was quite impatient as he wanted to escape back to his own world before Mr. Freeze could have the dimensional portal up and running. Mr. Freeze was too busy trying to counter the attacks of the Dark Knight and the Martian Manhunter to notice Owlman was already at the computer console.
"Come on, come on!" cried Owlman as he was working quite hard on the computer console to get the portal device up and running.
Meanwhile in the world of Avatar, a certain Azula was escaping the Fire Bender palace, having been locked up for becoming insane by her brother Zuko, she easily defeated the elite Fire Bender guards with one swoop thanks to her lightening bending skills. It was just then Zuko confronted his sister being backed up by Aang.
"There is no escape" said Zuko, "you are outmatched this time."
"That's what you think, when I finally get out of here, I'll have my revenge" laughed Azula.
It was just then back in the world of the Dark Knight, that Owlman had activated the portal to the world which he thought was his home world. It was just then that the same portal ended up opening right behind Azula to which she apparently didn't care where it led her, just not being behind bars in her own Fire Nation.
"Looks like this is my ride to freedom" laughed Azula as she leaped through the mysterious portal.
It was just then on the other side that Owlman thought it was going to get away by heading into the portal.
"Sorry to leave you behind" said Owlman to Mr. Freeze who was still struggling with fighting off the Dark Knight and the Martian Manhunter, "but I gotta run."
"Stop him, he's heading back to his own world!" cried Batman to J'onn.
As J'onn attempted to head toward Owlman, an odd spark of lightning came right out of the portal, as it was none other than Azula who created an explosive entrance to which sent the two flying across the room and literally destroying the dimensional portal that she had crossed into. As the smoke cleared, Owlman couldn't believe what he had unleashed into this world.
"You, what have you done?" roared Mr. Freeze.
"Finally, a new world to conquer!" laughed Azula to which she then targeted Batman and Mr. Freeze firing fire at the two.
The Dark Knight couldn't believe that he had to help out a traditional foe of his escape from this mysterious newcomer into his world. Azula kept the Dark Knight and Mr. Freeze at bay as they hid behind some boxes in the hideout.
"And here I thought I was doing something good for someone like Owlman" sighed Mr. Freeze.
"It seems whoever she is, she sure has a fiery personality" said Batman.
"This world will be perfect for my conquest!" laughed Azula as she then began to use her fire bending skills to destroy a wall.
As Azula soon escaped into a new world to conquer, the Dark Knight knew he had no other choice but to give Owlman and Mr. Freeze a few options.
"Alright, I am going to be quite frank with you two, you two are responsible for releasing this new villain into Gotham" said Batman as the two were being interrogated.
"Look Bats, all I was hired to do was to get this joker home" said Mr. Freeze, "not bring this stranger into Gotham. Besides, if Gotham deserves a certain environment to be in, it should be under an icy chill!"
"Hey, who you're calling a joker" said Owlman who was going to get into a fight with Mr. Freeze, "all I want is my world back!"
"Is that all you care about, yourself?" asked Batman to Owlman, "As much as I hate to say this, but we're going to need your help. You caused this mess, and you're going to help clean it up."
"And just why should I help you?" asked Owlman.
"Hey, it was your idea anyway" replied Mr. Freeze.
"He's right on those accounts" replied Batman, "Mr. Freeze, I am going to need your icy powers to put out this flame."
"Now you're talking" laughed Mr. Freeze who was ready for some action.
"Why should I join you, you should be giving me a nice meal" said Owlman.
"Sorry, but it seems like you'll have no other choice" continued Batman.
The Dark Knight was right on course that a certain Azula's first target was to take down what seemed like the main law enforcement group namely the Gotham Police Department headed by Commissioner Gordon. Gordon had received information about this mysterious woman who was allegedly from another universe already by the Dark Knight. The real reason was when and where she'd strike.
